In a recent interview with VICE to promote her riveting first memoir, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors brought up the now more controversial proposal that America (and the white people who run it) owe Black Americans reparations and that such a package must include access to quality therapy. “[…]if we are really going to have this honest conversation on how and what this country owes black people, I feel very strongly that every black person should receive a therapist as part of any reparations package,” Khan-Cullors told VICE.
